IMAX: Cosmic Voyage HD pt 4/4 (Narrated by Morgan Freeman)

SpaceMan — Sun, 03 Oct 2010 20:10:24 +0000

Explore the Universe from its tiniest particle to its greatest expanse. Cosmic Voyage begins on Earth, firmly grounded in human perspective, and asks a fascinating question: Where exactly do we stand in the vastness of the cosmos? Where, between quark and quasar, is our place in space and time? You depart from Venice, where Galileo first demonstrated the use of the telescope. In 26 “”powers of ten”" stages, you ascend through our solar system and the Milky Way to the outer edges of the observable universe. Returning to Earth, you enter a drop of water and descend through sixteen ever-diminishing circles to the universe’s tiniest particle, a quark. The film features a “”cosmic zoom”" as viewers are transported across millions of years as galaxies collide, the solar system forms and life begins on a young planet Earth.

Hubble In Popular Culture

SpaceMan — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 20:09:59 +0000

• Science & Reason on Facebook: tinyurl.com • Secular Humanism on Facebook: tinyurl.com Hubblecast 38: Hubble in popular culture – Inspiring People With Awe For The Universe. When Hubble was launched in 1990, every astronomer knew it had an opportunity to make profound breakthroughs in science. A few realised its potential as a tool for inspiring people with awe for the Universe. But could anyone have predicted how deeply Hubble would become embedded in popular culture? — Please subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — In many ways the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope is is the world’s most sophisticated digital camera. Over the years, its photo album has featured many members of the cosmic family — ranging from baby stars to elderly galaxies. With all these amazing shots of space, it’s easy to forget that Hubble is a superstar here on Earth, too. Hubble, for many people, has become a byword for “science”. That’s why, this summer, we asked you to send us your favourite examples of how Hubble has been used, or abused, in the daily life of us earthlings. We liked some of your suggestions so much that we wanted to share them. Hubble snapped this glowing planetary nebula, NGC 2818, ejected by a dying star more than 10 000 light-years away. But this scientific picture has also inspired art and design — for example this striking electric guitar. The guitar isn’t the only example of how the world of music has …
